surprise to the hackers OF the favor
ties, who had been winning all the
week. The consequences was that the
bookmakers won the big money, as
nearly everybody backed the favoites
as heretofore, the short h rses having
put few friends. The leading starters
in nearly all the rae 20 were fairly well
matched, and the odds offered were
freely taken. The disposition to back
the flyers was apparent all over the
track, not only with the general pub
lie, but with the professional racing
people. The time made by the flyers
was comparatively slow, the track being
deep in sandy dust, which, when
knocked up by the hoofs Of the flying
steeds, was waited in clouds on the
